Okay, since it appears that some users ARE receiving BB email, I did some
investigating. After several phone calls with my own ISP they verified that
they are NOT blocking any mail from Interland.com. My ISP (Dreamscape.com)
does utilize Brightmail.com anti-spam service, but that is not blocking BB mail
(it does do a nice job on actual spam--caught 26 messages for me since June 1).
Using a program called NeoTrace, I pinged Interland and found 17 nodes between
Brickbay.com and my own ISP. Any one of those nodes could be ultimately
responsible for blocking my mail so it does not appear that there is much more
I can do about things. Another call to Interland is a possibility, however. If
Interland has shut down its Spam portals (sic) and otherwise eliminated their
spammers, perhaps there is some mechanism in place to inform other ISP's. They
won't do this, I would guess, without numerous complaints from customers and
users.
